Glass Slippers

Finished reading The Cinderella Pact by Sarah Strohmeyer. Just a fun read in general. Not much substance but it was easy to read and was overall cute. Somewhat of an adult fairy tale I suppose. The main character, Nola (love this name!), enters a pact with her other overweight friends to lose the weight after all these years. The story is from Nola's perspective but the reader also gets a glimpse into the other characters lives through Nola's eyes. Of course there is a prince Charming and in general there is no way the story would really unfold the way it did in the real world, but still it was cute enough.

I'm a bit undecided on how I feel about it, but one of Strohmeyer's previous characters also made an appearance in the book. Bubbles makes an appearance as a friend to Nola's sister. At first it struck me as a bit odd but now I think maybe it was a clever idea. Could even get some readers to read that series if they haven't so I guess I should at least give the author props for a marketing strategy. I liked the Bubbles series too so really it shouldn't bother me. I guess though sometimes I just want to keep a character as a character and the crossing over sometimes gets to me.

This author isn't necessarily one of my absolute favorites, but something about her books draws me to them. Not sure what it says about me but after reading the Bubbles series the rest of her books have made my to read list. That said...
